Sorry DMS,
The Soviet Secret police; The People's Comissariat for Internal Affairs, or NKVD. The secret police remained the most powerful and feared Soviet institution throughout the Stalinist period. Later, they become, the KGB, the “state committee attached to the Council of Ministers”. The Soviet versian of our infamous, sad and down right embarassing CIA.
